Lauterbach announced support for the new OCTEON III MIPS64 family, 1- 48 core multicore processors, from Cavium. As a Cavium PACE member, Lauterbach offers advanced JTAG style debuggers supporting OCTEON III. Lauterbach’s TRACE32 debugger GUI, along with its accompanying features, provide development engineers with trusted tools, reducing product development time and cost. The TRACE32 PowerView software includes a very efficient and user-friendly HLL debugger for C and C++ and awareness for Linux RTOS, enabling seamless debug from kernel to processes and threads. The tools can be connected to either Windows or Linux hosts via USB or Ethernet 10/100/1000. Existing Lauterbach customers can take advantage of TRACE32’s modular design to inexpensively convert their existing TRACE32 debuggers to support the OCTEON III family.
The OCTEON III family integrates 1 to 48 MIPS64 cores, at up to 2.5GHz, providing up to 120GHz of 64 bit compute power per chip. Multiple chips can be combined into a single logical high-performance processor using Cavium’s innovative new chip interconnect architecture. All OCTEON III processors also incorporate new dedicated hardware engines to speed search, protocol parsing and traffic management as well as enhanced cryptography, compression and deep packet inspection engines.
